Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and device of tracking an individual.
  • An object of the present invention is to solve or at least mitigate this problem in the art and to provide a method and device of tracking an individual.
  • the invention concerns a method as in claim 1, a device as in claim 9, a computer program as in claim 17 and a computer program product as in claim 18.
  • FIG 1 is an illustration of a device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is assumed that an individual 13, such as for instance a craftsman in the form of a carpenter, electrician, plumber, etc., is hired to carry out work on the premises 14 of a customer 15. Prior to the craftsman 13 starting his work, the customer 15 assigns in step S101 a geographical position of the premises 14, typically via a so called app of her mobile phone 16 or tablet, or via her computer which is capable of communicating with the device 10 carrying out the method according to an embodiment of the present invention via the Internet. The assigned geographical position may be a particular street address.
  • the device 10 is typically embodied in the form of processing unit such as a microcontroller or a central processing unit (CPU) being equipped with a memory 11 for storing a database and further software 12 comprising executable components for causing the CPU 10 to perform appropriate actions.
  • the customer 15 further indicates in step S102 a geographical area 17 around the assigned geographical location designating the premises 14 where the craftsman 13 is free to move while still being considered to be on the premises 14.
  • the geographical location and associated geographical area could be entered as a street address and a radius around the street address, but could alternatively for instance be indicate to the app by indicating an area by means of for instance a virtual pin in Google maps or any other appropriate map service.
  • the location and the geographical area in which the craftsman is allowed to move while still being considered to be on the premises 14 can both be entered in a single step S101.
  • the craftsman 13 thus registers in step S103 his presence on the premises 14 via a corresponding app on his smart phone 18. This can be considered a log-in procedure for a work session.
  • the craftsman 13 may in an embodiment of the present invention further enter in the app an address of the premises were he is set to carry out his work. This is useful in case the customer has a number of premises on which the craftsman is to perform work, and an identification of a particular premise is required.
  • the customer needs to register, with the device, an allowed geographical area for each location in case a number of premises are envisaged.
  • the CPU 10 receives in step S103 a signal or message from the smart phone 18 of the craftsman 13 indicating that a registration is made, and the CPU 10 will accordingly enter the registration in the database contained in the memory 12.
  • the registration is associated with a first event at the CPU 10, such as for instance an event denoted "work commences".
  • the CPU 10 will thus make a registration in the database of memory 12 accordingly.
  • the tracking of the craftsman 13 can commence.
  • the craftsman 13 moves on the premises 14, his smart phone 18 continuously sends an indication of his position to the CPU 10.
  • GPS Global Positioning System
  • step S104 the position of the craftsman 13 repeatedly to the CPU 10 which accordingly compares the reported position to the entry in the database of memory 12 where the geographical area 17 in which the craftsman 13 is allowed to roam is registered.
  • step S105 If the smart phone 18 of the craftsman 13 reports a geographical position being outside the area 17 in step S105, as detected by the CPU 10 repeatedly performing comparison of the positions reported by the mobile phone 18 in step S104 and the geographical area 17 initially defined by the customer in step S102, the CPU 10 will respond accordingly and record a second event in the database of the memory 12.
  • the tracking in step S104 is performed by the app of the mobile phone 18 continuously comparing the positions of the mobile phone 18 with the indicated geographical area 17 initially entered by the customer 15 and submitted to the app of the mobile phone 18. This is advantageous since no repeated reporting is necessary to the server 19; instead, the app of the mobile phone 18 performs the tracking in step S104 and reports in S105 that the geographical position is outside the area 17.
  • this second event associated with the craftsman 13 as reported by his mobile phone 18 could be denoted "object outside of designated area”. If so, a total time period from the moment of registration of the position of the craftsman 13 via his mobile phone 18 in step S103 to the tracking of step S104 and the reporting in step S105 indicating the craftsman 13 to be outside of the predetermined geographical entered in the database is recorded by the CPU 10 and recorded in the database of the memory 12. This time period can subsequently be used by the customer 15 to determine if, and how long, the craftsman 13 in fact was at the premises as entered by the customer 15 in the database via the CPU 10. The registration of the second event can thus be considered a log-out procedure for the work session.
  • the CPU 10 and memory 12 may be arranged at a server 19 which is located remotely from the customer 15 and the craftsman 13, potentially even in another part of the world.
  • the CPU 10 may in an embodiment of the present invention remove the registered second event and resume the tracking of the craftsman until another second event occurs.
  • the CPU 10 will thus again with the help of the GPS of the mobile phone 18 track the craftsman 13 and make a record in the database of the memory 12 of the time period elapsing from the previous activation of the first event to a new second event occurring, indicating that the craftsman 13 again is outside of the designated geographical area 17.
  • step S103 will have to be repeated.
  • the second event associated with the craftsman 13 is not that he exits the geographical area 17, but that the CPU 10 no longer receives any reports on the geographical position of the mobile phone 18, indicating either that the smart phone 18 has been turned off, or that its GPS functionality has been disabled. Either way, the CPU 10 will respond accordingly and record the second event in the database of the memory 12. Now, this second event associated with the craftsman 13 as reported by his mobile phone 18 could be denoted "no geographic position recorded”. If so, a total time period from the moment of registration of the position of the craftsman 13 via his mobile phone 18 in step S103 (i.e.
  • step S104 indicating the craftsman 13 to be outside of the predetermined geographical location entered in the database is recorded by the CPU 10 in the database of the memory 12. This time period can subsequently be used by the customer 15 to determine if, and how long, the craftsman 13 in fact was at the premises 14 as entered by the customer 15 in the database via the CPU 10.
  • the geographical position of the mobile phone 18 is not repeatedly reported to the CPU 10 in step S104, but only reported once the craftsman 13 exits the geographical area.
  • the app on the craftsman's phone 18 would typically need to be aware of the allowed geographical area 17 initially defined by the customer in step S102. Information defining the initially indicated geographical area 17 would thus have to be transferred from the CPU 10 to the app of the craftsman's mobile phone 18.
  • An advantage would be that the CPU 10 not repeatedly would have to receive and process positioning data reported by the mobile phone 18.
  • the CPU 10 may receive the message regarding the craftsman's current position from a central unit (not shown) tracking the craftsman 13 by receiving GPS signals accordingly from the mobile phone 18. Hence, the CPU 10 does not necessarily receive the message indicating the current position of the craftsman 13 directly from the craftsman's mobile phone 18.
  • the CPU will continuously receive signals indicating a movement of the craftsman's mobile phone 18, either as GPS signals as previously discussed, or possibly in the form accelerometer and/or gyroscope readings of the mobile phone 18. This is to assure that the craftsman 13 has not left his mobile phone 18 on the premises 14 (i.e. within the indicated geographical area 17), while having left the premises himself, thus trying to manipulate the CPU 10 into believing that the craftsman 13 is still located on the premises 14 of the customer 15.
  • the second event associated with the craftsman 13 is that his mobile phone 18 indeed is within the indicated geographical area, but that the tracked geographical position has not changed during a specified time period, such as for instance a couple of minutes.
  • the CPU 10 may indicate to the craftsman 13 by an alert via the app on the mobile phone 18 that the second event is being registered.
  • the craftsman 13 may be informed e.g. that he is outside of the geographical area 17 in which he is allowed to roam, or that he needs to move the phone 18.
  • the customer 15 supplies the CPU 10 in step S101 with the phone number of each individual which is to participate on a work to be carried out on the premises 14 of the costumer. Again, this would typically be performed via an app on the mobile terminal 16 of the costumer 15.
  • a number of craftsmen can be envisaged working at the premises 14 of the costumer 15.
  • the premises 14 is not a house of a private individual 15 as illustrated in Figure 1 , but rather e.g. a factory setting, hundreds of craftsmen may be involved.
  • the respective craftsman for whom a phone number has been supplied by the customer 15 to the CPU 10 in step S101 is invited in step S106 to register his presence on the premises 14 via the corresponding app on his smart phone 18. As previously mentioned, this can be considered a log-in procedure for a work session.
  • the craftsman can be linked to App Store (for iOS) or Google Play (for Android) for downloading the app such that registration of the craftsman can commence.
  • App Store for iOS
  • Google Play for Android
  • FIG 2 illustrates a flowchart of an embodiment of the method of tracking an individual according to the present invention.
  • the method may for instance be performed at a device such as the server 19 being equipped with a processing unit 10 embodied in the form of one or more microprocessors or CPUs arranged to execute a computer program 12 downloaded to a suitable storage medium 11 associated with the microprocessor, such as a Random Access Memory (RAM), a Flash memory or a hard disk drive.
  • the processing unit 10 is arranged to carry out the method of tracking an individual 13 according to embodiments of the present invention when the appropriate computer program 12 comprising computer-executable instructions is downloaded to the storage medium 11 and executed by the processing unit 10.
  • the storage medium 11 may also be a computer program product comprising the computer program 12.
  • the computer program 12 may be transferred to the storage medium 11 by means of a suitable computer program product, such as a Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) or a memory stick.
  • DVD Digital Versatile Disc
  • the computer program 12 may be downloaded to the storage medium 14 over a network.
  • the processing unit 10 may alternatively be embodied in the form of a digital signal processor (DSP), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), a complex programmable logic device (CPLD), etc.
  • the tracking of the craftsman 13 can commence in step S104.
  • the craftsman 13 moves on the premises 14, his smart phone 18 continuously sends an indication of his position to the CPU 10 (or possibly to another central unit communicating with the CPU 10 as previously discussed).
  • the CPU 10 compares the reported position to the entry in the database of memory 12 where the geographical area 17 in which the craftsman 13 is allowed to roam is registered.
  • the app of the mobile phone 18 repeatedly compares the position with the indicated geographical area 17.
  • step S105 the CPU 10 will respond accordingly and record a second event in the database of the memory 12. Now, this second event associated with the craftsman 13 as reported by his mobile phone 18 could be denoted "object outside of designated area”. If so, a total time period from the moment of registration of the position of the craftsman 13 via his mobile phone 18 in step S103 to the tracking of step S104 and the reporting in step S105 indicating the craftsman 13 to be outside of the predetermined geographical entered in the database is recorded by the CPU 10 and recorded in the database of the memory 12.
  • This time period can subsequently be used by the customer 15 to determine if, and how long, the craftsman 13 in fact was at the premises as entered by the customer 15 in the database via the CPU 10.
  • the registration of the second event can thus be considered a log-out procedure for the work session.
  • the registering of the second event by the CPU 10 causes the server 19 to alert the customer 15, for instance via the app on the mobile phone 16, or e.g. via e-mail.
